A team of talented young footballers are celebrating a huge achievement that not even the likes of the great Michael Owen or Ian Rush managed to get under their belt.

The current Year 5/6 boys’ squad at Golftyn CP in Connah’s Quay have won every single Flintshire primary school tournament in the past two years, something which has never been done before by any other Flintshire school.

Proud coach Chris Boulton, who teaches Year 5, says he is incredibly proud of the team.

He said: “Even Michael Owen, Ryan Shawcross and Ian Rush didn’t achieve this in their Flintshire school days.”

The road to success began in 2013 when the team claimed the trophy in the Year 3/4 Elwyn Owen Cup.

They followed this in 2014 when they won the Year 5 Ron Bishop.

Already this year, Golftyn CP have topped the Connah’s Quay league, and took home not only the Eccleston cup, but the Hardwick Shield and Tom Roberts cup as well.

The Hardwick Shield was held at Ysgol Bryn Coch in Mold and the team beat Penarlag in the final.

They then beat Buckley’s Southdown CP 2-0 at Ysgol Gwynedd in Flint to lift the Tom Roberts cup.
